Briostack is business management software for pest control and lawn care companies. Its operations tools cover scheduling, appointment automation, route optimization, technician tracking, and customer SMS notifications.

Its API free tier is included with a subscription and allows 350 requests per month, 60 requests per minute, and unlimited API keys. The paid subscription has no listed price; prospective customers are directed to request a demo, and user limits vary. Each user license includes up to 20 GB of storage, with additional storage charged separately. Listed additional charges are $.04 per text and $.04 per minute for calls.

Fieldwork is field service management software for residential and commercial service businesses, including pest control, lawn care, and pool service. Its visual calendar helps teams book appointments, coordinate technicians, and manage routes. Customer records sit in its CRM, and a portal gives customers access to invoices, contracts, and work history. Android and iOS apps support field work orders and can operate offline. Pest-control teams can scan device barcodes and record station condition, captures, bait condition, and other data. Chemical records can include EPA registration numbers, active ingredients, dilution rates, application methods, and targeted areas; they are kept online for three years. The software can generate pesticide usage logs required by California and New York. Plans are billed per field user, with office staff free. Startup costs $59 per month per field user and includes QuickBooks integration; Pro adds Zapier and API access. A 14-day trial includes full access, training, and support, with no credit card required. Fieldwork is based in Niles, Illinois.
